the Leif Brush operational tent on Baffin Island 1955 had a coal fired pot belly stove, two-way radio communications between this location and the Lindenwald way down below in the Foxe Basin, an Angry 9 analog radio was used during coordinated movements of coal, oil drums, and troops for off-loading all supplies, and an electric generator- TINY TIM- was outside the tent. It also held the summer supply of Schlitz brown keg lined beer cans in wooden cases. I always had an issued M1 carbine at the ready. Occasional straying polar bears were kept away with shots in the air. Prior to boarding the ship in Hampton Roads Virginia, my duffle bag also carried an unauthorized National SW-54 shortwave radio and was used in my very small office aboard the this ship. It had one porthole from which I attached a copper wire trailing a stretched out metal coat hanger. I had varied duties besides being radio operator on land. Aboard the ship I handled all personel files and take depositions for any occurrences during our deployment. Quite a lot of activity on board! Our army unit, including officers, was aboard in addition to a full compliment of on board sailors and officers. This also included "workers" temporarily released from a Georgia prison to help with loading cargo boats from the Lindenwald and off-loading them on shore . A sample incident. The Thule, Greenland Air Base was called for a helicopter to evacuate a sailor who had fallen overboard. Lots of paperwork was required which meant I went to my hammock below the waterline very late for several days.
